g-i-t lacks a gnome-fs-trash-{empty,full}-accept

These icons are used by trashapplet (and perhaps nautilus) when you drag something over the trash to drop it. Currently trash applet displays the ugly red X.

red ugly X? It remains gnome-fs-trash.png for me and highlights it the usual way... This would make much more sense if we had a closed trash bin like we used to, but for an open trash?
Jimmac, in 2.9? The ugly red X is the Gtk image not found image. I was trying to think how we would indicate 'accept'. Perhaps an arrow pointing into the trash bin?
But why would you want a special state for this? We have the standard color hightlight already... Adding unnecersary states only adds maintanance overhead...
Other themes have them? (that's probably not a great reason)
I'm not saying other themes don't need them. If you have a trashcan with a lid, you probably want to have a state of the lid open. But for an open trash it's unnecersary. The open state should not be mandatory.
Ok. There is code that was added at some point to deal with the lack of accept icons if we don't have them. So this is not really an issue any longer. You can close this if you don't want to have these icons.
